< Job 39 >
1 ¿ Do you know [the] time of [the] bringing forth of mountain goats of rock [the] giving birth of does do you watch?
“[Job], do you know at what time/season [of the year] the female mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the wild deer while their fawns were being born?
2 Will you count? [the] months [which] they complete and do you know? [the] time of bringing forth they.
Do you know how many months pass from the time they become pregnant until their fawns are born?
3 They kneel down young their they cleave open labor-pains their they send forth.
[When they give birth, ] they crouch down so that the fawns do not [get hurt by] falling to the ground when they are born.
4 They become strong young their they grow in the open they go forth and not they return to them.
The young fawns grow up in the open fields, and then they leave their mothers and do not return to them again.
5 Who? did he let loose [the] wild donkey free and [the] fetters of [the] wild ass who? did he loosen.
“Who allows the wild donkeys to go wherever they want [DOU]?
6 Which I appointed [the] desert plain home its and dwelling-places its [the] saltiness.
I am the one who put them in the desert, in places where grass does not grow.
7 It laughs to [the] tumult of a town [the] shouting of a driver not it hears.
They do not like the noise in the cities; [in the desert] they do not have to listen to the shouts of those who force donkeys to work.
8 It explores mountains pasture its and after every green plant it searches.
They go to the hills to find food; there they search for grass to eat.
9 ¿ Is it willing a wild ox to serve you or? will it pass [the] night at feeding trough your.
:Will a wild ox agree to work for you? Will it allow you to keep it penned up at night in the place where you put feed for your animals?
10 ¿ Will you bind [the] wild ox in a furrow rope its or? will it harrow valleys behind you.
And can you fasten it with a rope so that it will plow furrows/trenches in your fields?
11 ¿ Will you trust in it for [is] great strength its so you may leave? to it toil your.
Since it is very strong, can you trust it to work for you? Can you go away after you tell it what work it should do [and assume that it will do that work]?
12 ¿ Will you trust in it that (it will bring back *Q(K)*) seed your and threshing floor your it will gather.
Can you rely on it to come back [from the field], bringing your grain to the place where you thresh it?
13 [the] wing of Ostriches it flaps joyously if a pinion a stork and plumage.
“[Think also about] the ostriches. [They] joyfully flap their wings, but they do not have wing feathers [that enable them to fly] like storks do.
14 For it abandons to the ground eggs its and on [the] dust it keeps [them] warm.
Ostriches lay their eggs on top of the ground [and then walk away], leaving the eggs to be warmed in the sand.
15 And it has forgotten that a foot it will crush it and [the] animal of the field it will trample it.
Ostriches do not worry that some wild animal may step on the eggs and crush them [DOU].
16 It treats roughly young its to not [belonging] to it [is] to emptiness labor its not fear.
Ostriches act cruelly towards their chicks; they act as though the chicks belonged to some other ostrich. They are not concerned if [their chicks die], [and so] the laying of the eggs was in vain.
17 For he has made forget it God wisdom and not he gave a share to it in understanding.
That is because I did not allow ostriches to be wise. I did not enable them to be intelligent.
18 About the time on the height it flaps it laughs to the horse and to rider its.
But, when they get up and begin to run, they scornfully laugh at horses with their riders [because the horses cannot run as fast as the ostriches!]
19 ¿ Do you give to the horse strength ¿ do you clothe neck its a mane.
And [think about] horses. [Job], are you the one who caused horses to be strong? Are you the one who put flowing (manes/long hair) on their necks?
20 ¿ Do you make leap it like locust [the] majesty of snorting its [is] terror.
Are you the one who enabled them to leap forward like locusts? When they (snort/blow loudly through their noses), they cause people to be afraid.
21 They paw in the valley so it may rejoices in strength it goes forth to meet weaponry.
They paw the ground, rejoicing about being very strong, as they prepare to rush into a battle.
22 It laughs to fear and not it is dismayed and not it turns back from before a sword.
[It is as if] they laugh at the thought of being afraid. They are not afraid of anything! They do not run away when [the soldiers in the battle are fighting each other with] swords.
23 On it it rattles a quiver [the] blade of a spear and a javelin.
The quivers containing the riders’ arrows rattle against the horses’ sides, and the spears and javelins flash [in the light of the sun].
24 With shaking and excitement it swallows [the] ground and not it stands firm for [the] sound of a horn.
The horses paw the ground fiercely/excitedly, [wanting the battle to begin, ] and they rush into the battle when the trumpet is blown.
25 In [the] sufficiency of a horn - it says aha! and from a distance it smells battle [the] thunder of commanders and [the] battle-cry.
They neigh [joyfully] when they hear someone blowing the trumpet. They can smell a battle even when they are far away, and they understand what it means when the commanders shout their commands [to their soldiers].
26 ¿ From understanding your does it soar a falcon does it spread out? (wings its *Q(K)*) to [the] south.
“[And think about big birds.] Are you the one who enabled hawks to spread their wings and fly to the south [for the winter]?
27 Or? on mouth your does it make high [its flight] an eagle and that it sets on high nest its.
Do eagles fly high up [into the cliffs] to make their nests because you commanded them to do that?
28 A rock it dwells and it may pass [the] night on [the] tooth of a rock and a stronghold.
They live in [holes in] those cliffs. They are safe in those high pointed rocks [because no animals can reach them there].
29 From there it spies out food from afar eyes its they look.
As they watch carefully from there, they see far away the animals that they can kill (OR, dead bodies of animals).
30 (And young ones its *Q(K)*) they drink blood and at where [those] slain [are] [is] there it.
After an eagle kills an animal, the baby eagles drink the blood of that animal.”
